well, i dug around and abused the choco today for a few hours. Went through about 50 stacks of greens. And yeah, i REALLY notice a HUGE difference on lightningsday and darksday, i just avoid digging and level smn skill while the day goes by. Hmmm... id say i made a nice 60k today, while spending around 30k. i really am digging this craft ;D


i should be level 1 tomorrow, for now i need sleep.

thanks for turning me on to this awesome craft, it's perfect for me.

hey pirategilr--what exactly does echo do??

Just remember folks, too many people digging in one place, and everyones digging goes to hell. It doesnt matter what your skill is, if a zone is dug out, no one gets anything. Please be considerate of your fellow diggers and if you see a bunch around, try a different zone for a bit.

well i got level 1 digging today


i am madly in love with it, i made over 50k my first run on my new /wait 12. couldnt believe my luck ^^


I leveled on my 74th stack of greens, and i looked back and noticed i leveled after digging up a bone chip. Hope this helps some people out, i counted each and every green. goonight all

Chocobo Dig times....again.


All right, so figuring out area wait times has been frustrating me lately. Until my friend CP pointed something out to me.


The original table listed area time as 40 seconds for new diggers. It isn't - it's 60 seconds. BUT - if you count game "seconds" (which would technically be minutes), 40 game seconds is 60 real seconds. So it could be the area wait time referred to game seconds and I just never caught on. I didn't think it did because the wait between /dig is definitely in real seconds.


Which would explain a lot. And now, if I count the game "seconds" after I zone, I get the same every time. And it puts me at Area 25. Whereas if I count the real seconds, I get anywhere from 30-45.

btw

/echo blah

would basically send a message to only yourself of blah


Useful for making notes to yourself, like you could use that for provoke instead of telling the whole party.

You don't see ingame seconds, only minutes and hours, plus iirc 1 ingame day equals about 1 rl hour which would make 1 ingame minute ~2.5 rl seconds ^^.

Here you go what to do to get area wait time.


First make a /clock macro, and a /dig macro


Rent a chocobo, when the screen goes black just keep on hitting your /clock macro. when you enter the new area and you can see that you have had your /clock macros working in the log stop hitting the macro.


Look for the first time after the === Area: (area name) === line. this tells you you earth starting time. lets say you get 5:34:23. Now you know your starting time, next you will be hitting your clock macro then your dig macro right after.

You will start with getting your times like 5:34:37, and dig macro will give you, you can't dig yet. One of these times you will hit your clock macro then your dig macro and you will start digging, that clock time is your area wait time. So lets say you are at area wait 40 and started at the time I gave, you won't be able to dig untill after your dig time is 5:35:03, or 04.

Hmm... Well, I've been digging for a couple days. I dug up a bone chip months ago out of boredom. First dig, I got it. Well, I figured it wasn't worth cash. I heard a rumor or two about elemental ore, shrugged it off. Then I saw the somethingpage's information about a week back. West Altepa looks quite nice for digging :-D So, I started up again.


Headed to Kazham. AS SOON as I got there, I dug up rattan lumber. A few minutes later, I got a cinnamon stick. Next load of ten stacks, I scored a danceshroom. I stopped due to a major exam I had for summer school in college. Came back to continue. Restarted this morning. First full load, on my last green, I dug up rosewood :-D Then I got a petrified log. Then I got an ebony log o__o I'm still struggling to get a puff ball...


Somethingpage's wait/zone timer counts seem off... I should be rank 5 or so now, but my delay is something slightly above 6 seconds. Maybe 7 or 8? I read a decent chunk of posts here but time is ticking down and I can't read 'em all at the moment @_@; Anyone else here having these timer problems? What rank does 0 delay kick in at?


Oh. And also, is Spirit Grass a proper translation as a promotional item in Yuhtunga/Yhoator? I've checked the Garuda Jeuno AH and couldn't find Spirit Grass for a price check... Maybe I picked an incorrect category?

Meian_Rune thx for info on echo.
